Battle of the Bands Entry Form

Battle of the Bands is a musical talent competition that gives our students and community an opportunity to perform for a great crowd! Battle of the Bands is hosted every year in March in the Breedlove Auditorium on campus. Group bands, solo performers and musical talents of all types are welcome to apply.

Battle of the Bands will take place on Thursday, March 1st of 2018 at 6:00p in Breedlove Auditorium at UAFS. Entry forms are due by February 21st at 4:00p. Cash prizes are awarded to first place, runner up, and audience favorite.

This year the solo act will be required to play an instrument for half of their performance. The demo submission should include the song/s that you wish to perform in the competition. We will be listening for play style, genre, and ability. If you leave a link please indicate the songs that you wish to perform. Something to keep in mind, there will be a 2 song or 6 minute limit. No exceptions will be made.

For all band entry’s; we will review the demos and get back to you within a couple of days of submission. For those who are accepted into the show it is important to know that each band is in charge of marketing themselves for the event. The more of a fan base that you can get to the competition the more likely you will be to win the crowd favorite prize. Also for those accepted, there will be a mandatory $35 entry fee that must be paid in person on campus to Jasmine Smith in the SAO Welcome Center, her office is located in the middle of the Campus Center building on the first floor. This money will go directly into the prize fund and will be used exclusively for the Cash prizes. Checks must be made payable to “UAFS”, and no credit/debit cards will be accepted. When visiting UAFS there is free 30 minute parking, if available, and there is visitor parking which will require a temporary but free visitor parking pass which you can pick up in the Welcome Center of the Campus Center.

I agree By submitting this form, I acknowledge that the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith reserves the right to disqualify any band that uses profanity or promotes violence in the lyrics of their songs, incites moshing, and understand this event is family friendly. I grant the use of the bands names for any and all promotional materials, including social networking sites.
